Former Bradford City, Rotherham United and York City goalkeeper Scott Loach has come out of retirement to join a club in the 10th tier of English football.
Loach hung up his gloves in the summer of 2024 after two years on the books of Derby County. A vastly experienced stopper, he had represented the likes of Watford, Ipswich Town and Peterborough United across a career spanning 20 years.
He was even called up to the England senior squad on more than one occasion, but was never handed a debut between the sticks for the Three Lions.
Loach has now sealed a return to the game with Wakefield AFC, of the Northern Counties East League Division One.
The non-league outfit have acted following an injury to their regular stopper Owen Evans, securing Loach’s services ahead of the transfer deadline.
